Overview

Caterpillar first introduced the 992 in 1968. This large wheel loader has been a global leader ever since, building a reputation as a face loader that's both safe to operate, productive and durable. With the introduction of the K Series, we've enhanced the operator's experience and the safety of those working on and around the machine. With both standard and high lift configurations, this machine will pass match with fleets of 775, 777, and 785 trucks. If your operations revolve around the 992 as a loading tool, you'll find everything that's important to your business in the 992K; safety, productivity, cost control and comfort for your people.

OPERATOR ENVIRONMENT

Air conditioner and heater with automatic temperature control

Cab, sound suppressed, pressurized, rollover protective structure (ROPS/FOPS), radio ready for (entertainment) includes antenna, speakers, and a 12V converter (24-volt, 10-amp) for use with laptop/cell phone use

The mechanically actuated, electronically controlled unit injection (MEUI™) ensures that fuel is metered out in optimal quantities for both power and efficiency.

Economy Mode

Enabling maximum productivity and efficiency, all day every day.

The 992K systems work hard to save you fuel through advanced technologies. Utilizing On Demand Throttle, operators maintain normal operation with the left pedal and implements while the 992K manages the engine speed.

Provides similar control and feel to our traditional throttle lock feature.

Technology Solutions

Integrated electronics provide flexible levels of information to both the site and the operator. This integration creates a smart machine and more informed operator, maximizing the productivity of both.

Information Display

We have worked hard to help our customers and operators perform at their best through our newly upgraded touch screen information display.

Cat® MineStar System

Cat MineStar System is the industry's broadest suite of integrated mine operations and mobile equipment management technologies, configurable to suite your operation's needs. Its capability sets – Fleet, Terrain, Detect, Health and Command – contain a range of technologies that let you manage everything from fleet assignment and condition monitoring to remote and autonomous control. The 992K can take advantage of many of these advanced technologies, some of which are standard out of the factory.

Fleet

Fleet provides comprehensive, real-time machine tracking, assignment and productivity management, giving you a comprehensive overview of all operations from anywhere in the world.

Terrain for Loading

Terrain with your 992K enables high-precision management of loading operations through the use of guidance technology. It increases 992K's productivity and provides you real-time feedback for improved efficiency.

Detect

Detect helps increase operator awareness, enhancing safety at your operation. It includes a range of capabilities designed to assist the operator with areas of limited visibility around fixed and mobile equipment.

Sustainability

Protecting the Environment

Environmental responsibility is designed and built into our 992K's features.

Increased fuel efficiency to minimize your carbon footprint.

Engine Idle Shutdown can help you save fuel by avoiding unnecessary idling.

To assist with maximizing machine life, Caterpillar provides a number of sustainable options such as our Reman and Certified Rebuild programs. In these programs, reused or remanufactured components can deliver cost savings of 40 to 70 percent, which lowers operating cost while benefiting the environment.

Caterpillar offers retrofit packages to bring new features to older machines, maximizing your resource. When you go through the Cat Certified Rebuild program, these retrofit kits are part of the rebuild process.

Fluids are better controlled through use of Cat anti-drain filter housings and component ecology drains.

Buckets and Ground Engaging Tools

Increase Productivity and Fuel Efficiency

Cat buckets are designed for superior performance in a variety of materials. They are engineered to dig into piles quickly and load efficiently. Optimized fill factors enable you to get the job done and move on to other tasks. Fast load cycles and fewer trips mean less wear and tear on your machine and keep you working.

The buckets below are part of the 992K bucket line. They come in different capacities and widths to fit your loading and carrying needs.

Rock Buckets

Designed for use in bank or face loading of limestone and other unprocessed rock. Application also includes truck and hopper loading for a wide range of quarry materials. GET includes spade nose cutting edge with adapters, half arrow segments, floor liner, bottom wear plates, wings, and side bar protectors.

Heavy Duty Rock Buckets

Designed for use in applications like face loading tightly compacted pit materials or handling materials of moderate abrasion and high impacts. GET are similar to the rock bucket with the addition of half radius liners and bolt-on bottom edge wear plates. Base edge end protection, ski plates, additional side wear plates, and an extra set of side bar protectors are also included.

Iron Ore Buckets

Designed for use in extremely aggressive applications like face loading. Built for high abrasion and moderate impact. GET are similar to heavy duty rock buckets with the addition of flush mount adapter covers, edge segment top covers and side heel shrouds. Iron ore buckets are smaller in bucket capacity to accommodate for higher material density applications.

Coal Buckets

Designed for use in applications with light density and non-abrasive materials. GET includes a straight base edge with a bolt-on cutting edge system.

System Match Efficiency

Application Match

The standard 992K is sized to load the 68 tonnes (70 ton) 775 in three passes, and the 91 tonnes (100 ton) 777 in four passes. The 992K high light configuration loads the 777 in five passes, and the 145 tonnes (160 ton) 785 in seven passes.

Efficient Combination

For full truck payloads with minimum loading time, an efficient loading/hauling system starts with a perfect match. Cat wheel loaders are matched with Cat mining trucks to maximize volume of material moved at the lowest operating cost per ton.

Bucket Selection

Selection of the right bucket depends on penetration requirements, material densities, abrasion, and the loading target. Bucket sizes are matched to truck bed capacities and material densities for optimum loading efficiency and greater productivity.
